Clogged pores, and texture everywhere!!

My skin has become super clogged and I have texture around my nose/cheeks and forehead. I’ve used many serums (Clinique turnaround serum, Sunday Riley UFO) and deep cleaning masks, and I exfoliate 1-2 times a week. Nothing is smoothing out my skin!! Any product or routine suggestions??

I recommend switching to the Extra Strength Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel for your exfoliator. Helps with texture, pores, acne, fading scars, etc. It's really helping my skin look amazing. I've been going without makeup entirely because my texture issues and acne are gone and I have an even skin tone. If you have sensitive skin, you should try the Universal Daily peel instead of the extra strength ones

Try using the Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder as an exfoliant-it's soft and gentle on the skin and it helps with texture!

Another thing you may want to consider instead of continuing to layer products is to get a microdermabrasion treatment to clear your pores. My chin kept peeling, looking clogged up so I went in for a microderm and facial and it made a huge difference in my skin. Treatments can get pricey but you can find great deals on Groupon.

RE: Clogged pores, and texture everywhere!!

You may consider whether you over-clarify or over-exfoliate your skin so that it makes your skin dehydrated. I suggest that you can try Dr. Jart hydrating mask or add some hydrating products/serum to your skin care routine. There’s no problem using cleansing mask or exfoliate products, but it is very important to hydrate your skin right after.

Re: Clogged pores, and texture everywhere!!

What are you currently using to exfoliate? And are you moisturizing consistently?

RE: Re: Clogged pores, and texture everywhere!!

And I moisturize after I cleanse twice a day

RE: Re: Clogged pores, and texture everywhere!!

Hi! I use dr. Brandt pore dermabrasion once a week to exfoliate and then I use first aid beauty radiance pads for a more gentle every day exfoliant

Hello there!

Try tea tree oil only on your spots  carefully before bed at night. Also charcoal mask from origins in Sephora is what I really love. try that

I love that mask too, it’s wonderful
